The winners of the 2023 Fourth Congressional District Art Competition were announced by Rep. Chris Smith (R-Manchester) at a Monday night award ceremony held at Hackensack Meridian Ocean University Medical Center in Brick. “Tonight, we acknowledge, respect and honor these young artists’ extraordinary talent unleashed on canvas or some other medium and the years of nurturing, devotion and discipline it took to perfect that talent by parents, teachers and friends,” said Smith, who sponsors the annual contest aimed at recognizing and fostering the artistic talent of high school students in the local community. “We celebrate these 89 amazing young artists with impeccable vision and talent and the remarkable works of art they have created,” Smith said. “With our eyes and hearts and souls we breath in the inspiration—the inner vision—each gifted artist has given to us to enjoy and appreciate.” |
